IBM BigFix and IBM Security QRadar solutions empower IT teams to view up-to-the-minute endpoint intelligence within the context of other vulnerability data, prioritize vulnerabilities for remediation and quickly take corrective action to help minimize risks.

"According to the 2016 State of Endpoint Security Survey released by the SANS™ Institute 44% of respondents report that one or more of their endpoints have been breached in the past 24 months.
- Desktops, laptops and servers are the most compromised endpoints
- Login and access credentials are the most commonly exfiltrated information
- 55% of respondents spend 3 or more hours per compromised endpoint
- Over 70% of respondents find it difficult or impossible to determine when an incident is fully remediated
These statistics encompass a wide set of industries, from financial services to education. So while each network is uniquely built to support your particular business, none is immune from being breached."
